I'm not sure who specifically worded the Statement of Faith, but I suppose I agree that a "real" devil would probably read better than a "personal" devil. Someone may chime in who makes more sense of that wording. It may infer that Satan is personally involved in tempting, but I've always shied away from that premise, because it seems to make him omnipresent like God. He doesn't have the nature to be actively involved all of our lives. I don't even think he knows I exist, but I'm sure some of his demons do.

Satan, the devil, or what ever else he is called in scripture is not omnipresent. He can't be every where at the same time. There is only one of him but he does have his emissaries that help him in his work of evil. It is my understanding from scripture that he is constantly accusing the believers to God. If he is personally attacking you, then you must be a very "holy" person.

No, but he (they) can hear what you speak. Prolly one of his flunky demons or whoever that could be listening if he's close enough to hear. Most (all?) would flee from a spirit filled Christian, but if the Christian was not spirit filled, I think that there's ways that we could inadvertently invite them in? I'm not sure exactly how, maybe play'n with a Ouija board or something?

I have read some about him. He was what some call a "Stigmatist". It is or was reported that he could(biolocate) be in 2 separate places at the same time. It is reported that at his Requiem Mass that around 100,000 attended.

i found this:1.9: Participants must be at least 13 years old to participate. Users who are found to be under the age of 13 will have their account disabled until they meet this criteria. ChristianForums.net does not maintain permission records from parents.

so can a 14 year old sign up, or does he need a parent's permission first?

I understand what you are saying and the statements that you have made. I like "True evil has no remorse". That is so true. Also it is true that good people do bad things and that does not make them bad.
There are a few questions that I would like for you to ponder.
1. If Jesus Christ paid the sin debt of the whole world, then what is it that brings condemnation? Is it not unbelief?
2. If God has already forgiven sin, then the believer has no sin to be forgiven, only fellowship to be restored when we are overtaken by faults.
3. Is there any verse that states that the believer is still a sinner? In my studies I find that we were sinners, past tense, but now, present tense, we are saints and heirs of God.4.Why would we ask God to do something that he has already completely accomplished?
